I don't have either, but I very much desire Teasing Georgia for her beautiful form, rich yellow color and pale green leaves!

The CD I had in California hardly ever bloomed, I think because it didn't get enough sun. This one might need a sunny location, might also not like too much heat. I notice on HMF that it is being grown in Moscow. Golden Celebration, in the same location, mostly light shade, became huge and bloomed all summer with very little supplemental water.

It's impossible to say for sure without seeing more of the plant's habit and botanical details. Kim

Guinevere is the most outstanding rose in all 125 I grow. always in bloom,cuts last a long time, healthy. No scent. Really love this rose and hear very little about it. I agree with Traviata. Lovely rose that lasts. Lesley

Isn't Traviata real thorny?

Double Delight can have many, many looks. Very white with just a tinge of pink edging is one of them and not abnormal at all. And the colors can change dramatically in just a few hours.

These are photos of one bloom taken over a 24 hour period.

Ooo, Lady Sadie looks very intriguing, Beth. I don't know anything about it other than the picture now, but I'll keep my eye out for more info on it.

Pat Austin has proved to be a big disappointment to me. I've had her 3 years now. She puts out a big first flush, then I get nothing out of her once it gets hot. And a few piddly blooms in the fall.

tare,
I'm thinking about Mary Magdalene too. Did you buy some? Or did you decide on something else?

You can make collars yourself using either old flower pots or gallon milk jugs. For the flower pots just slit the side and cut out the bottom. On the milk jugs you need to cut the top and bottom off and then slit the side so you can get them around the plants.

In CT I'd wait until spring. You'll need to prune them then anyway and if you time the transplant right in the early spring they'll wake up in their new spots and never know they were moved. You want them to have as much canes with stored energy in them as possible coming out of winter.

A rose mentioned in the text, Persane, seems quite beautiful in its' one HMF photo. HMF lists no sellers for this yellow HT anywhere in the world. Does anyone here know more about Persane?

Forgot to mention a few roses I love that bloom great here in North Georgia. The Alnwick Rose, Carding Mill, Heaven on Earth, Gruss, Quietness and Cream Veranda. Those seem to be my favorite, at the moment, and they all have slowed down right now but bloom consistently all summer!!! Oh boy!! I'm soooo excited for you. Keep posting pics!! Judy

Belinda's Dream can get quite tall, to 5 feet or more, so you'd have to be careful with placement. Bishop's Castle is a beautiful and fragrant Austin rose that does very well in the heat. It can spread but I keep mine trimmed short, to about 3 feet, and it still keeps on blooming. Carding Mill is another great hot-weather rose.

I agree with hoovb; you have so much room that a wide border of roses and other plants would be beautiful and have a lot of impact. I wouldn't have just roses. As beautiful as they are, they can become boring planted en masse without anything to lend contrast to their shapes and colors. Bolero and Julia Child are both very good roses, with a nice bushy shape and lots of bloom. Boxwood hedges are very attractive but can be labor-intensive with all the trimming to keep them tidy looking.

With all that room you might want to visit the Antique Roses Forum and find out about roses that can grow to 10 x 10 feet and more with time, depending on your climate. There are on-line nurseries, such as Roses Unlimited, that have wonderful choices of mostly antique roses that would look perfect with your style of house. Once you begin with roses it can quickly become an absorbing passion, especially with the fascinating older roses.

A better bet for roses would be a consulting rosarian. Your local rose society will have names and contact info.

It may be different elsewhere, but in my general area many Consulting Rosarians are only really versed in modern roses.

I know I will be getting roses from her at some point soon- how could I resist such great prices, selection and service? I don't have much of a budget for plants, but feel that it's important to try and support the small vendors while they're still here.

I worked for a good many years for several independent bookstores in several different cities... all gone now, as are too many of the Indies in this country... I know whereof I speak.

I keep a list under the computer mat on my desk with a Burling list.

She has sent out nice plants, for much less and far faster than any of the other vendors I have bought from this fall. They might be smaller bands, but the bigger gallons from 2 vendors have not been that much better it would be worth buying from them. Except for them having something she does not carry.

And then there's also that pretty well kept secret ADR winner that didn't get an alluring name change when it came to the US.

In the creamy light yellow category:

Here is a link that might be useful: 'Karl Ploberger Rose'

Just wondering-are you saying you do not use any fungicide at all? I kept my Julia Child blackspot free through summer last year because I used a systemic. However, this year I tried not using anything and got lots of blackspot by mid summer.
I am in SC, we have lots of heat, humidity and usually frequent rains.
